Ideas For Creating the Perfect Balcony

1. Ideas For Creating the Perfect Balcony

2. The perfect balcony is one that looks great, functions as you want it to, and matches or complements the style of your home. Whether you’re keen to add a little outside space to your home without spending a fortune, or want to make your home more appealing to buyers, a professionally constructed balcony is always a worthwhile investment. Below are a few tips and ideas for creating the perfect balcony, whatever type of home you live in:

3. Think carefully about the purpose of your balcony Knowing what you intend to use your balcony for, can help you decide what it should look like, how big it should be, and what materials it should be constructed from. If your balcony is mainly about enjoying the view, then you’ll need to make sure you can see that view clearly – and safely – without any unnecessary obstructions. If you want to use it for entertaining in the winter and summer, it’ll need to be big enough, and warm or cool enough, depending on the season.

4. If you’re unsure what you want to use your new balcony it for, then simply make sure it’s constructed professionally and is usable for a variety of purposes. A balcony on a single-story addition If you’re planning to have a single-story extension built, then a balcony could make it even more attractive and usable, especially if the extension has meant that you’ve lost valuable space in your yard or garden. Think about this during the planning stages of the addition project, to cause the least disruption and make the job slightly easier for your chosen design and construction team.

5. Give yourself outdoor space, even when it’s raining Covered balconies can be used in all weather, and what could be better than stepping ‘outside’ to smell the air and enjoy the panoramic view, without having to wear a rain coat or hold an umbrella. Make sure your view isn’t obscured If your home enjoys attractive views, building a balcony to give you access to it all year round, is a fantastic idea. However, it’s important that you discuss the construction of your balcony in detail with your chosen contractor, to ensure that there are no barriers to that beautiful sight. In this instance, a frameless glass balustrade can work wonderfully well.

6. Use your balcony all year round You’ve given yourself additional outdoor space, but what’s the good of that if you can’t use it for half of the year? Wouldn’t it be great to give yourself a balcony that you can use even when the temperature drops or the sun isn’t shining? Think about whether you can add a heat source somewhere on your balcony to make it more usable during the winter months; your construction firm will have plenty of ideas, so be sure to consult with them as to the best way to achieve a truly all-season balcony.
